Staying overnight

Main Roads marks 10 stops on the way as 24-hour rest areas: WUBIN RTAA (km 248), Kirkalocka Station (km 483), Gascoyne River Sth Branch (km 888), Private Capricorn Roadhouse (km 1145), Private Auski (km 1350), Rest area (km 1433) and 4 more. Main Roads says its 24-hour rest areas are not meant for camping, and that a stop should not go past 24 hours in a row.2 At other stops, plan to move on. "Recorded as free" on a campsite means its record says so; check the signs and the local rules on the day.

Take a break

Main Roads WA calls fatigue a silent killer on WA roads. Its advice: share the driving, swap drivers every two hours, and take regular breaks.2 The longest gap between stops on this drive is 48 km, on the Great Northern Highway between km 1762 and km 1810.
